Miss Lu was overjoyed and quickly called the little maid guarding the door, "Quick, there is something here! Come and help!"
The little maid guarding the door was startled, then turned around and ran over with a smile.
"Madam, have you really found money?" the maid asked with excitement.
Miss Lu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said anxiously: "Hurry and help dig."
"Okay, madam." The maid whispered, picking up the dead trees nearby and helping to dig.
The two dug for a while and finally dug out the contents.
It is a round ball wrapped in black soil.
Miss Lu stared at it for a long time, "What is this?"
The little maid patted the dirt on it with her hand and asked, "Is there a big piece of gold in it?"
Miss Lu was overjoyed when she heard this. She quickly snatched the ball, held it in her hands and wiped away all the black soil. ?.?????.???
However, the more she rubbed, the more something went wrong, and gradually a human-shaped skull suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Ah!" Miss Lu was so frightened that she turned pale. She quickly dropped the skull in her hand and said in panic: "This? What is this?"
The little maid looked up at the skull, terrified, and took a few steps back.
"Husband...ma'am...seems to be a human head."
Miss Lu's face was pale, and her black and white eyes protruded outwards. She pointed at the skull and trembled all over: "A dead person is a dead person!"
As she spoke, she stepped back and fell to the ground, her right hand happened to catch something like a stone.
She didn't have time to think too much. She picked it up and looked at it, only to see a white hand bone.
"Ah!" She threw the hand bone violently and screamed again.
The little maid turned pale with fright and did not dare to step forward.
Miss Lu grabbed the tree trunk on the side and tried desperately to stand up, but she was so nervous that her soles slipped and she rolled into the hole they had just dug.
The moon was full today, and the moonlight illuminated the entire pit.
Miss Lu raised her eyes and found that she was surrounded by skeletons.
She had a head, hands and little feet. She screamed loudly and crawled out desperately, "Help! Help! Come and save me!"
The little maid on the side looked at the scene in front of her and was stunned on the spot.
They all knew that as maids, a wealthy family like the Lu family would have some lives in the backyard of such a boudoir, but they did not expect that there would be so many.
Miss Lu was so frightened that she crawled out of the pit like crazy, "Help me! Help me!"
The maid regained her composure and strode forward to pull Miss Lu out of the pit.
Miss Lu's eyes were empty, as if she had lost her soul.
Because they made too much noise, they alarmed everyone in the house.
Soon, many maids, servants and guards who didn't know what was going on came running over.
After Master Lu learned about this, he immediately ordered to his confidant: "Go! Stop them and don't let them go to the abandoned courtyard!"
"Yes, sir." The boy quickly retreated.
But it was too late. The maids and servants had already rushed to the abandoned courtyard when they heard the noise.
Not only that, but there are also guests who have come to attend the birthday banquet in the past few days.
Several of them are their distant relatives and local officials outside the capital. Since it takes more than ten days to come here, they will stay at Lu's house for a few more days.
They heard the excitement in the backyard and ran to watch.
By the time Mr. Lu arrived, many people had already gathered around the pile of corpses.
Everyone is talking about it.
"With so many bones, how many people must have been buried."
"Yes, at least a dozen, no, it should be dozens, or hundreds."
"How come there are so many human bones in Mr. Lu's mansion? Could it be Mr. Lu..."
When Mr. Lu heard this, his face turned livid.
He walked over slowly and said, "Everyone is tired. It's better to go back to your room and rest early."
Everyone quickly fell silent.
Master Lu dismissed everyone, wanting to send them back to their rooms, and then find a way to silence them.
Everyone seemed to have expected that someone would sneak out of the house to report the news.
When Mr. Lu wanted to collect these bones, someone from the court rushed over.
A group of officers and soldiers rushed into the house and wrapped the bones tightly.
Even if Mr. Lu wanted to destroy it, he couldn't.
The next day, news about the Lu family spread throughout the streets, and everyone was guessing where the bones came from.
When Du Wanchun passed by a shop selling steamed buns, he heard them guessing.
"It must be the maids in the mansion. I heard that Madam Lu disliked Mr. Lu hanging out with those maids. Maybe she was jealous and killed all those maids."
"That woman is really cruel."
"yes."
Du Wanchun's footsteps stopped when he heard this, and he raised the corner of his mouth with a sarcastic smile.
Even if Mr. Lu is arrested now, people are still suspicious of his wife, which they can't help but find ridiculous.
She returned home carrying the shopping.
Xiao Mianmian and Han Yaner are at home.
During this period, Han Yan'er felt guilty because of the poisonous pastry last time, so she would often come to take care of Han Yan'er.
Han Yaner came up with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, have you heard? Mr. Lu has been arrested."
